Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HI,my dughter is newborn with spina-bifida meningeocele, she has not had surgery as doctors told she is only six months old. She is crawling nicely and she is starting to get up. She got a small lump on the spine. Can you please advice me when the actual age of operation or surgery for the child would be.
meningomyelocele is grade 2 arnold chiari malformation; needs Mr brain and spine to evaluate to what degree your baby is affected; needs completed neurological evaluation of legs and constant check of head circumference. I believe as you said it's just a lump on back may not need surgery now but brain and motor functions are important for assessment.
